It's amazing what you see when you open your eyes and your mind to new ideas.

When I started this project several weeks ago, I never realized how it would affect my "vision".

At the beginning of the project, I first looked for bright objects then forced myself to look beyond the light at the shadows and how interesting they can be.

Now I find myself doing the opposite - seeing an interesting shadow and trying to figure out what is creating it.

Case in point, one random school day I was picking up backpacks in the kitchen and noticed a "castle" on the pavers. 

I've never noticed the castle before, and it took me a minute to figure out what was creating the image - the porch handrail.

We've lived in our house nearly 10 years, yet this little gem has escaped me and I know it's been there the entire time.

I can't wait to see what else I discover on my journey through the shadows. Hope you're along for the ride.
